POETRY. [Selected for the Catholic Intelligencer.] God not in the Whirlwind— nor in the "Thunder —nor in the Flame, but in the still small voice. On Horeb’s rock the prophet stood— The Lord before him passed ; A hurricane in angry mood Swept by him strong and fast ; • The forest fell before its force, The rocks were shivered in its course ? God was not in the blast. ’Twas but the whirlwind of his breath. Announcing danger, wreck and death. It ceased. The air grew mute—a cloud Came, muffling up the sun ; When, through the mountain, deep and loud, An earthquake thundered on ; The frighted eagle sprang in air. The wolf ran howling from his lair ; God was not in the storm. 'Twas but the rolling of his car. The trampling $f his steed from far. ’Twas still again—and nature stood And calmed her ruffled frame ; When swift from heaven a fiery flood To earth devouring came. Down to depth the ocean fled, — The sickening sun looked wan and dead. Yet God filled not the flame. ’Twas but the terro...

Hushed is the voice,of JtudalFs mirth ; Apd Judah’s minstrels’;too, are gone; And harps that told Messiah’sJnrth Are hung on heaven’s eternal throne. Fled is the bright and shining throng That swelled on earth the wmlcome strain. And lost in air the choral song That floated wild on David’s plain : For dark and sad is Bethlehem’s fate ; Her valleys gush with human blood ; Despair sits mourning at her gate. And Murder stalks in frantic mood. At morn, the mother’s heart was light, Her infant bloomed upon her breast; At eve, ’twas pale and withered quite. And gone to its eternal rest. Weep on, ye childless mothers, weep ; Your babes are hushed in one cold grave ; In...

IRELAND. The following Letter of the great O’Connell to the Editor of the Dublin Pilot will be read with pleasure by every friend of Ireland. Sir. ;—I often told yon I was the best abused man in the world —and f believe yon will allow that upon no occasion of my life did it ever happen to me to be more accurate in this boast. 1 am abused bv Whigs and Tories—Biblicals and Unitarians—real Idiots, and self-styled liberals—the press and the pulpit—a Catholic prelate, and various Orange dignitaries; Corporators, Declarators, and Renegades ; —Lords, and knaves —and the non-descript mixture of both i a short, I am the best abused man in the universe. 1 have committed one crime not likely to be f irgiven I have annihilated that cheap reputation for patriotism, which was so easily acquired by a hollow pretence’ of being favorable to “ our Catholic countrymen.” All the advantage of that cant is gone by.— I do commit another crime, not to be pardoned in this world or the next—l prefer Ireland ...

[From the Boston Courier.] FOREIGN NEWS. Liverpool Papers to January 25 hav beeen received by the Silas Richards at New-York. We avail ourselves of the summary of the Commercial Advertiser. The Reform Bill is under full discussion in the | Commons. The strength of the Ministers is undi- j minished. The new Peers had not yet been created. Reports were current that there was much opposition to ( the new creations among the old Peers, who them- 1 selves are friendly to the Bill. It is said that should Earl Grey advise to the creation of the proposed number of 40, the Duke of Portland statnds ready, at the ! head of 40 Reforming Peers, to go against the Bill. The Morning Herald contradicts the story; but says that even should it prove true, 40 more new Peers 1 would be created, or 100, if necessary, to carry the Bill. It is stated from Lisbon, January 4, that Don Miguel was seriously indisposed—his recovery doubtful. There is some trouble brewing in the royal family. As all the illegiti...

POOR POLAND! I Nttremburg, Jan. 26. — The Swabian Mercury j contains the following article from Posen : The Poles banished to Siberia are divided into 3 i classes. In the first are those who took part in the ■ original insurrection of the 29th Nov. 1830 ; these j I are sent to Nertschisk, where they must work in the i mines. The second class are sentenced to hunt sa- ! bles in the northern provinces. The third class, ini which are several superior officers, are placed under j ! the superintendence of the police at Tobolsk, and the j vicinity, without any further restraint. With respect ! to Prince Badziwill and some other distinguished Poles, it is said they will have to reside in Astrachan and the southern provinces of the empire for some ! years, till the affiiirs of Poland are settled. The property of all those officers who have not accepted the amnesty is sequestrated by the Provisional Govern-! ment. Their children are sent to the school for ca-i dels, at Riga, whence they will...

SAINT SIMONISM. Had the following freak been played in the reign of Charles Xth of France, the Judge and his royal Master would hava passed for bigots. Poor human nature!— When left to thyself, when throwing off the salutary yoke of true Religion, in- , to what quagmires wilt thou not sink ? The Court of Cassation at Paris, was occupied on Saturday by an appeal from M. Bazard, calling himself High JMest of the Religion Saint Simonian, against the Council of Discipline of the National Guard, which had sentenced him to twenty-four hours’ imprisonment because he would not do his duty. To decide the important question, whether Saint Simonism is a religion, and, consequently, whether Priests of this religion ought to be excused from serving in the National Guard, was the- real business of the Court. M. Isambert was the reporting Judge; and M. Jouhaud, who disclaimed being a follower of Saint Simon, the Advocate of the Pere Bazard. The .case was closed by M. Dupin, the Procureur general, ...

[From the Catholic Telegraph.] ABSURDITY OF PROTESTANTISM. No comment is necessary on the following just re- ; marks of our esteemed and respected correspondent, j They carry with them, the evidence of truth to the j confusion of those licensed libellers, who assume the I mask of religion to legalize they' malignant defamation. They never assail rhe Roman Catholic faith, W from which they have torn themselves, and split in- ■ to hundreds of discordant sects, with the honorable j weapons of fair and honest argument ; but rest their hopes of success on the effrontery of reiterated ca- { lumny and misrepresentation. In the language of a distinguished Irish barrister, we should place ourselves, borne down with the weight of accumlated injustice, before a mirror, and learn to “ groan with grace and writhe with harmony,” to accommodate the religious feelings of those, exclusives, M in the vineyard ! It is time to show them, that inI suited patience can be exhausted, and that we are j full...

[Communicated for the Catholic Intelligencer.] OBITUARY. Died —On the 6th of March, Doctor Octavius Taney, a Senator of the Legislature of Maryland, and brother of the Attorney General of the United States, after the severe and short illness of ten days. He was taken unwell at Annapolis, and visited Baltimore for the recovery of his health, as also to see some of his relatives. He grew worse, and sent for his wife and brother ; but alas ! it was for them to see him die ! How true to him was that saying : In the midst of life, in the midst of death !” He prepared himself for the summons, and received the sacraments of the Catholic Church, from the Rector, of the Cathedral. He died in bis senses, in fervent prayer, and calling upon God and Jesus, his Redeemer, for mercy and grace. Thus was he cut off in the vigour of manhood, when so useful to his constituents, so successful in his profession, and so beloved by a wife and a large circle of relatives and friends. His sickness baffled a...

POETRY. [Selected for the Catholic Intelligencer.] LORD, WSOi li \ THAT DAY. I Lord, who shall bear that day, so dread, so splendid. When we shall see thy angel hovering o’er This sinful world, with hand to heaven extended, And hear him swear by thee that time's no more ? When earth shall see thy fast-consuming ray— \ Who, mighty God, oh who shall bear that day ? When thro’ the world thy awful call hath sounded—- “ Wake, oh ye dead, to judgment wake, ye dead !” And from the clouds, by seraph eyes surrounded, The Saviour shall put forth his radiant head ; While earth and heaven before him pass away— Who, mighty God, oh who shall bear that day ? When with a glance, the eternal Judge shall sever Earth’s evil spirits from the pure and bright, And say to those, “ Depart from me for ever !” To these “ Come, dwell with me in endless light !” When each and all in silence take their way— Who, mighty God, oh who shall bear that day ?

From what we have already said of the origin and character of the Baptist religion, it may not be uninteresting to our readers to know that a Lady, who, in this section of the Union, had been for some time a professor of that sect, renounced its errors and comes boldly forth in justification of her conduct. She had been excommunicated, by the elders and the other taints for having presumed to differ from them. In the course of her observations she alludes to our friend Malcolm , whom we cannot prevail upon to favor us with a single line in justication of his iale a...
